That exciting feeling...

Does anyone else get that exciting feeling when they do their first stitches with a new project or new piece of fabric??

My first tentative stitches with the lovely crepe I bought on holiday in Thailand... All I was doing was stay-stitching the neck on Colette Patterns Voilet!

Oh and if anyone can suggest the best way to press the seams with crepe? Damp cloth and warm iron??
